WellTest Wizard: Test Type

The test type:

  • Controls which analysis types are available for selection.
  • Can modify imported data. When the test type is Injection / Falloff or Minifrac, imported rates are converted to negative values.
  • Affects default settings. For example, the reservoir pressure defaults to the highest measured pressure for Drawdown / Buildup tests, and the lowest measured pressure for Injection / Falloff tests.
  • Impacts error checking intended to prevent you from making mistakes. For example, the cushion pressure (pwfo) must be less than the initial pressure (pi) for Perforation Inflow tests, and greater than for Perforation Injection tests.
